In the section "Investigating Life: Cutting Off a Tumor's Supply Lines in the War on Cancer", what did the researchers conclude from part a. of the figure?
Endostatin shrank tumors without development of resistance.
In the section "Investigating Life: Cutting Off a Tumor's Supply Lines in the War on Cancer", what hypothesis were the researchers testing by treating tumors with endostatin and the standard chemotherapy drug?
Endostatin works on endothelial cells, and therefore natural selection for resistance will not occur in tumor cells.
In the section "Investigating Life: Cutting Off a Tumor's Supply Lines in the War on Cancer", endostatin is a 184-amino acid protein that only affects endothelial cells. What is the best explanation for this observation?
Endothelial cells have a receptor on their cell membrane for endostatin.
